Explaining the Technology of Dial-up vs. DIRECWAY

Dial-up

We’ve all used dial-up access at some point in our lives. In today’s world you’re not exactly traveling in the fast lane with a dial-up connection.
It may be available in most arrears, but is it worth:

Limitations of Dial-up:

  • Available in most areas, but long=distance fees may apply.
  • Ties up your phone line.
  • Slow surfing speeds (capped at 56k, but typically much slower).
  • Logging on every time you want to use the Internet (and risking getting “bumped” off).
  • Can’t talk and surf at the same time (without the purchase of an additional phone line.)


DIRECWAY

DIRECWAY utilizes satellite technology to send and receive the Internet to your computer, making it available throughout most of Canada. While satellites give you high-speed Internet, the distance between our satellite and your dish does produce micro-fraction time delay or latency during transmissions, which may not be perfect for “twitch” games or online trading that need split-second reactions. So, if you’re a big online gamer or utilizing a VPN, DIRECWAY may not be ideal for you.

Limitations of DIRECWAY

  • Not ideal for some online (twitch) games, or utilizing a VPM.
